I appreciate the kind words. I started the set in 2010, but I was only planning to collect the HOF players at that time. In February 2015 I flew to Detroit to purchase the collection of the Tigers ballboy from 1934-35, which included over 90 signed 33 Goudeys. In October 2015 I purchased Sean Brennan's amazing Goudey collection. Among the HOFers I already had and the two collections I purchased I was right around the 200 mark, so I began trying for the set in earnest. Huggins and Scott sold a large collection last August. I added four that I needed from that auction. The only one I've seen for auction and missed was Earl Clark. A friend who is also working on the set bought it for $16,500. I wasn't willing to pay that much, but I have since regretted that as he died in 1938 and another one may not exist. I have around 30 that the PSA population report lists as 1 of 1. Moe Berg and Tris Speaker are probably my two favorites.

I recently added a Pete Appleton through Weiss Auctions and an Adolfo Luque through a private sale. Both are awaiting PSA authentication, but I expect both to pass which will put me at 219/239. I think completing the set may be possible, but it won't be easy or fast. My want list is so short that I'll be lucky to find one a year that I need. Obviously, I greatly appreciate any leads on any that I do still need. My current want list is:

By nature I am not a person that it is easily impressed BUT that collection is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen.
Good Luck on completing it !
By the way do you how many complete signed sets there are in existence ?
Also I did nor see the Lajoie card listed ,do you know of a Lajoie signed card or are you not counting it for your collection ?

I appreciate it. My 33 Goudey set is almost certainly the most complete signed 33 Goudey set in existence. The next closest set I know of is currently around 20 short of mine. I would obviously love to add the Lajoie signed Goudey, but I don't consider that a true 33 Goudey. It was released in 1934 to appease collectors who complained about the missing card number.

Amazing Jason. Congrats. I have an autograph book I think obtained by the same Tigers batboy who got almost all the american league players. he continued on with it later in life at I think old timers games or Cooperstown. Here are a few sample pageszz auto album 3.jpgzz auto album 1.jpg
